​As in sports, when the team isn't winning, it's time for some change.

Instead of following the same flawed course of action, by my own original methodology, I wish to be one of the most productive and effective members of the 116th United States Congress.

There is so much that needs to be done, and we each only have so much time. Someone bona fide with a new approach needs to step up to the plate in order to get our country back on track.

​On behalf of the people, I hope to set the 21st century standard for American leadership, and to recruit a new wave of those who can be most useful to the State. This will include the next generation of viable public officials, in addition to the virtuous Americans outside of DC who are ready, willing, and able to help us with the task at hand.

​We need to act now for our Nation and our people to find the health, wealth and happiness we deserve in the 21st century.

​It's time to start the process of revitalizing America.

Because of such, I'm entering the public arena and answering a life long calling. ​

However, I won't be working alone in building this brighter future for America. I have put together the open-source Problems Of Our Time competition as a way to focus my own work plan for the next few years, but more so, to help focus America's public officials and thinking resources at-large.

​​Such a great and open task requires a methodology commensurate, and I firmly believe this strategic action plan will be successful in providing the United States with a smarter & clearer direction, under a renewed purpose, for the next couple decades.

​​I will forever serve the people as maximally as I can muster. This is what our founders demand each of us to continually strive for. I will lead teams, and also seek to inspire others, to solve these problems (and any others) we face ahead on the road together through the 21st century.

You can be sure that I will always operate with a genuinely substantive and up-to-date technique, retain a fair/ un-biased mind, bring a next-level energy and passion to the craft, and never waiver in my commitment to you. ​​​

​My dream has always been, and will forever remain, to become a leading statesman for this beautiful country. This is because the process of doing "the people's business" is what I find to be enjoyable, exciting and the best way I can spend my life.

I am confident that I will make a major difference, and I see the opportunity to do such a deep responsibility most worthy to act on. In a sentence: this is something I have been training for a long time.

In demonstration of my commitment, for the past several years, I’ve been working to create, discover, and refine solutions to today’s problems, while also anticipating tomorrow’s (see here).

​The inconvenient truth I've found is that the scale, complexity, and pace of the 21st century requires us to seriously re-evaluate the skills, tools and subject matter knowledge needed in our public leaders/ active in our public space.

​Our collective mission must be to revitalize America, and to paraphrase a personal hero who once called my district home, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinkers who created them."

I've concluded that it’s time for a new style of doing politics.

​It’s time for the next wave of vibrant and innovative leaders that are genuinely up to the task of meeting our short, medium, and long-term challenges.

I am the first potent candidate of the next generation & will offer a much needed new and unique perspective on things.

​Given that 0 of the 535 members of Congress are under 30, at minimum, I will function to enhance diversity in Washington and to finally get my generation a real "seat at the table".

To put it colloquially: I will be the fresh face Washington needs, with the new and useful ideas that it needs even more. I am original in my vision, thinking and work-- and true in my calling. ​​

​I am humbled and honored by the prospective opportunity to serve my lifelong home of Central NJ in the House, and to dutifully steward the collective communities of NJ's 12th district so that the people can be most successful, healthy and happy.

Your contributions are helpful, your consideration is appreciated, and your respect will be earned.
